Sailing Chandlery provide a quick service, at a good price, supplying a wide range of products, allowing me to replace my dinghy halyard which had recently snapped. I will return to Sailing Chandlery for future boat repairs.

Thank you Michael for your kind words. We hope your 8 plait pre stretched rope does the trick on your dinghy.
